The Cork is Sinking

My emotions float with meI’ve had a burden in my soulSince I was young
It’s still with me as I grow oldAnd it doesn’t help to knowI have a long way to goBefore the burden is set free

It lies across my chest

A dense, disturbing massThe doctor says it’s just stress And the feeling won’t lastBut I don’t knowI’ve had this burden in my soulSince I was youngAnd it won’t let goAll around me others are jumping shipSuicide notes are posted on the netIf they can do it, why can’t IBut I don’t want to say goodbyeNot yetI want the burden to disappear While I stay here Because I knowIt’s not my time to go
